For health reasons I was advised to loose weight - not an easy job for me!! So I needed an extra incentive to help me with my challenge!

Fortunately this amazing chance came along to inspire me to keep going with my diet!

So I hope people will sponsor me for every pound I loose.

I began my diet in March when I was 17 stone, but for this challenge I began on the first of April - (it was no April fool !) - with my weight being 231lbs and I hope to loose at least 40 lb. My current weight, on Saturday 3rd June was 216 lbs so I have already lost 15 lb.

Please help me to keep motivated by giving to this cause!

Wren Music do amazing work in bringing joy and music to people from all walks of life. Help me to help them!

From people with respiratory conditions who can use Wren Music groups to sing and improve their breathing, to children with disabilities who can join in with playing in a band. Adults living in care homes and children under 5 can all enjoy making music with Wren and feeling part of something.

Wren use traditional music so that we can enjoy learning about cultural heritage, but also write new music so that the songs and tunes they use are relevant for the people taking part.

Wren Music is working towards a world where every voice is heard. Help me to help them to continue this important work.
